Are you craving clarity or just space to breathe?
In yoga, we practice Svādhyāya (self study) to reconnect with who we truly are. We learn to slow down, observe with kindness (Ahimsa), and come back to ourselves.
This retreat is your space to do just that. Through daily yoga, meditation, and nourishing connection, you’ll remember what’s already inside: peace, presence, and self-love. Start the year grounded, not by changing yourself, but by coming home to you.
Imagine beginning your year surrounded by jungle, ocean, and like minded people, reconnecting with your body, spirit, and joy.
The Living in Harmony Yoga Retreat is your invitation to
slow down, realign, and root into who you truly are through powerful daily movement, stillness, and soulful connection.

Maria Wada
Yoga & Meditation Teacher | Movement Guide
Hi! I’m Maria Wada! A yoga and meditation teacher from Japan, movement lover, and former professional dancer based in Los Angeles. I spent over a decade performing with artists like Madonna, Britney Spears, and Taylor Swift, before yoga became my path back home to myself.
Since completing my 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2018, I’ve continued to deepen my studies with a 300 hour advanced Vinyasa training in Goa, India, as well as additional training in Rocket and Yin yoga. I've completed 200 hour active consciousness meditation teacher training in Bali.
Inclusivity is at the heart of everything I teach. In my classes, we move with intention, honor our own experience, and make space for everyone to feel welcome.
I gently weave in yogic philosophy to offer simple tools for easing suffering and reconnecting with inner wisdom, both on and off the mat!
Getting here
We recommend using Liberia airport (LIR), the closest international airport.
From Liberia, we can arrange a private or group shuttle.
(approximately a 2.5-3 hour drive)
There is also a regional flight from Liberia Airport to Nosara which only takes 15 minutes.
The airport in San Jose (SJO) is about a 5 hour drive, you can rent a car or we can arrange a shuttle for you.
There are also local flights from San Jose to Nosara on Sansa Air (flysansa.com) or charter flights with Carmon Air (carmonair.com), 30 minutes away.
When you fly right into Nosara it takes a short ride (approximately 15 minutes) to Norte, in North Guiones.
FAQ

Some exeperience is recommended. Although physical capability is not always an indication of someone is advanced. Try my class on Nike Training Club App!

We have tons of practice, workshops and activities scheduled in the retreat and you will still have plenty of free time to relax, and do what you wish to do. We would love for you to participate in everything and make the most out of the retreat but of course, it is your time and your choice! Enjoy your time for you! If you are looking to receive continuing education hours as a yoga teacher, we will recommend participaring in every activities. if you miss some, we will simply credit you for the hours you participated.
Why retreats are so expensive?
Retreat investments go to semi-private yoga sessions and transformative workshops that we design with passion, planned activities and all your meals. Think about this, If you would go on a vacation, you will be planning all your accommodation yourself, paying for each meal, drinks, activities, etc for the same amount of money. And you may still spend lots of time on the phone and not be able to have the mental break that you wanted. On the retreat, we take care of it all and you get to be in the environment where encouraging you to practice mindfulness. So why not go on a retreat to share a transformative experience with like minded people ;)
